Roger Leroy C oliharp Racquetball team members respond to heart attack 1944-2008 Roger Coltharp, an adjunct faculty member in the biology department, had a heart attack on Sept. 22 while playing racquetball on campus. He was transported to Timpanogos Hospital, where he died. When Coltharp first collapsed, his friend rushed into the next racquetball court where David Shamo and Ernesto Espinosa, UVU racquetball players, were playing and asked them if they knew CPR. Shamo is certified in CPR anoed Parert through his work as a security officer for Novell. "All I could think of is getting to him and starting what I had been trained to do," said Shamo. Shamo and Espinosa immediately started CPR. The UVU police arrived shortly along with the Orem Paramedics and took him to the hospital. "If it weren't for Dave Shamo and Ernesto Espinosa, the paramedics said (Coltharp) would have never even made it to the hospital before his eventual passing," said Brian Pointelin, head coach of UVU Racquetball. According to Pointelin, Coltharp was a pleasant man and always greeted people with a smile and never said a bad word about anyone. "Roger is a friend of us on the racquetball court, and off," said Shamo. "He loved the sport and was very good at it. He died playing a game he loved. God bless his family."

"People have histories and then settle down," Hatch said. "Why wouldn't you want to be protected?" According to a report issued by the Huntsman Cancbt risiitule, 11,150 women were diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2007. The National Women's Health Information Center lists cervical cancer as the second leading killer of women in the world. Another misconception, if you track the statistical data, is teaching Utah adolescents that the only truly effective form of contraception is abstinence, a rationale that, in Pittrt'ltHK'1 i . Trent Bates UVU Review early 2000, prompted state legislation making abstinence only the solitary legal sex ed curriculum in Utah. In a Deseret News article dated Feb. 26, 2000, Rep. Bill Wright (R) stated on the House floor, "There are no failures with abstinence." In the same article, Rep. Mary Carlson responded saying, "Ignorance is never the best policy. It only fosters more ignorance. Abstinence is also a method of birth control that has a very, very high failure rate. It fails because people don't practice it." It is these fallacies that Voices for Planned Parenthood (VOX), a nationwide student advocacy group seeking to educate the public on issues regarding .sexual health and rights, is working to cast off. VOX is currently circulating a petition that will be presented to the state legislature next spring asking lawmakers to widen Utah's sex ed curriculum to include contraception and sexually transmitted diseases, both of which are illegal to teach under current Utah Law. With the month of October being breast and cervical cancer awareness month, the UVU VOX club is advocating that uninsured UVU students take advantage of services for the uninsured offered by UVU's Wellness Center on campus at either no or at greatly reduced cost. Discounted services range from general health exams, which would be provided to breast and pelvic exams and cervical cancer vaccines. UVU VOX club will have a booth set up on campus Oct. 10-13 and will host a panel discussion Oct. 15. Dave Iba UVU Review Wall Street woes An account from an alumnus in NYC L, BRITNEE NGUYEN News editor These past two weeks have seen a frenzy of investment banks and insurance companies on Wall Street going bankrupt or being saved by other companies or the government. John Shoaf, a UVU alumnus who graduated in 2004, is currently in New York City, working on his MBA at Columbia University. He was also a senior associate at David N. Deutsch & Company, a Wall Street investment-banking firm. "Yes, I think there were a number of clear signs," said Shoaf on whether he saw this crisis coming. "People were looking at speculation on markets and there was a lot of excess lending. Most people on Wall Street had a sense of it happening, but no one expected it would be of this magnitude." In August, Shoaf hosted 40 students (seven from UVU) in NYC for "Pathways to New York," an event that Shoaf created to let students experience the NYC business world for three days. The students visited 1 3 major companies on Wall Street such as Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, as well as Lehman Brothers, the first investment bank that went bankrupt in these past few weeks. "Lehman Bros, did not give any indication that times were bad and they were facing losing their jobs. One of our main organizers for Pathways was an employee of Lehman Bros.," said Michael Snapp, director of UVU Career Services, who accompanied students on the trip. "There really was no talk about things going bad anywhere. People talked of the markets being up and down, but something like this never came up." After Wall Street started crashing, a $700 billion bailout plan was proposed, which Congress approved last week. Shoaf agreed with the approval that using the government as alast-resort buyer is necessary for this situation.

"The early voting booths that will be on campus are for Utah County residents," said Tom Merrill, UVUSA Chief Justice. "It doesn't matter where you live, as long as you are registered in Utah County, you can come to the student government room and early vote here." This opportunity is part of the UVote initiative, which also includes the voter registration tables on campus and the upcoming Rock the Vote Concert. The proposal to bring the early voting machines to campus began at last year's voter registration drive. "When we were involved with our first registration drive it was the first year early voting machines were available in Utah County," said former Chief Justice, Justin Davies. "However, the only location was in downtown Provo at the Utah County Clerk's office."While Davies was encouraging students to vote that year at the registration drive, he was asked several times if early voting machines were available on campus. "I wanted to see more students become involved in the voting process," said Davies. "And if we had early voting machines on campus, it would be harder for any student to give a legitimate excuse for not voting," Davies added, "I think that student involvement in the elections process is something that's extremely important, from city council elections to even presidential elections, if every UVU student voted they'd consist of a demographic that would be impossible for candidates to overlook." "We put the petition together, circulated it around campus and ended up getting around 2,000 signatures," said Matthew Palfreyman, See VOTE A4
